Qiao Weiguo's face turned pale.
He looked at his third son with empty eyes.
He said woodenly, "Old Three, Qiao Qingqing... there's no way they'll let Old Four go."
Qiao Hu was slightly surprised: "Dad, did the fourth child do something to anger her? Is it really that serious? Even if he really wanted to kill someone...but nothing has happened yet, right?"
Qiao Weiguo stopped talking.
He just walked towards home in silence.
At this moment, Qiao Weiguo's mind once again emerged the words that Zhou Aiguo said to him in the Hongsheng Brigade in the morning.
From time to time, I would think of what Qiao Qingqing said, it's not you who saved face for me, but I who saved face for you and the Qiao family...
Gradually, Qiao Weiguo's heart was filled with resentment.
Why?
Why would the child he had taken so much trouble to raise since childhood turn into a labor camp prisoner?
He had clearly warned Qiao Chuan again and again that there were some things that shouldn't be done, so why didn't he listen?
Qiao Weiguo didn't understand where the problem lay, or what he had done wrong that led to his child being like this.
…
On the surface, the Qiao family's affair was over.
But for Qiao Qingqing, that’s not the case.
Since she had said that she would bring disgrace upon the Qiao family within 13 days, she would never break her promise.
In less than three days, a piece of news was circulating in the town and the surrounding villages: Qiao Chuan, the fourth son of Qiao Weiguo, the former captain of the Hongri Brigade, had an affair with He Lili, a female educated youth who was sent down to the Hongri Brigade. In order to stand up for his mistress, Qiao Chuan ran to the Hongsheng Brigade and set a fire, almost burning people to death. Now he has been taken to the Public Security Bureau.
Zhang Miaomiao, who had worked in the Hongri Brigade, visited the educated youth point of the Hongri Brigade. The female educated youth there began to testify that He Lili did have contact with Qiao Chuan, and some people even saw them being intimate in a corner.
For a time, rumors about the Qiao family were flying everywhere.
The Qiao family was once again pushed to the forefront. Every day when Qiao Weiguo, Qiao Shan and Qiao Hu went out, they would be stared at with strange eyes.
This kind of public pressure caused the Qiao family to suffer.
As for Qiao Chuan who was locked up, his life was even harder.
Although the Public Security Bureau detained the person, the Revolutionary Committee still went to the Public Security Bureau and took the person away for investigation after hearing the news.
Qiao Chuan eventually fell into the hands of the Revolutionary Committee.
Just as he had expected, the people from the Revolutionary Committee were even more ruthless and humiliated him severely.
When Qiao Chuan was released from the Revolutionary Committee, his broken leg was completely damaged and there was no possibility of recovery.
As for He Lili, although she was also invited to the Revolutionary Committee, the place where the two of them had an affair was too secretive and only Qiao Qingqing saw it. She, Qiao Chuan and He Lili all had personal grudges, and the Revolutionary Committee did not welcome her. Therefore, in the end there was no witness or evidence to prove her relationship with Qiao Chuan.
Qiao Chuan, the only person who could possibly drag He Lili into the trap, gritted his teeth and refused to say anything because of He Lili's previous instigation, which made him believe that she would commit suicide once he told the truth.
On the day he left the Revolutionary Committee, he saw He Lili at the door.
He Lili looked frail, with a pale complexion, red and swollen eyes, and looked extremely pitiful.
When she saw him, He Lili questioned him with shame and anger: "Qiao Chuan, I have no grudge against you, why did you want to harm me?"
